BF-F8HP or BF-F9V2+ if it's gotta be chirp compatible. I don't think there is a rugged Chirp compatible baofeng yet, but the TYT MD-2017 with third party firmware is probably the cheapest dual band rugged analog capable radio that I can think of. It's not compatible with chirp, and the programming is a little sketchy through the front of the radio, but it appears to be a great deal at 160USD.

I see all of the issues with these radio, I want to get something that will do the job, I want at least 2m and 70cm. But would be even better to have something tri-band.
So with all of what I have seen, which of these radios do you guys recommend.
Chirp does a great job with my Icom, but I would like to get something that I can use and if something happens it is not my Icom handheld. Something that if it falls into the water, or gets whacked I am not out a lot.
So what do you guys recommend?
